A federal judge has decided that a group of some 100 million Apple account holders have standing to sue over high App Store prices, setting the groundwork for a lawsuit with one of the largest plaintiff classes ever.
For years, Apple has been hammered for what critics call the “Apple tax” structure that eats up 30% of the revenue generated by in-app purchases. Until now, it has only been big app developers like Epic Games fighting back in court—and thus far, not
